If you’ve ever taken a day to relax at home, guilt-free from your usual busy schedule, you’ve practiced self-care. And if you’ve gotten up and brushed your teeth even when it felt like a challenge, that’s self-care, too.
In many ways, our bodies and minds are resilient, but there are limitations to the amount of energy we can emit before feeling depleted and burnt out. To replenish our energy sources, we can practice self-care to find balance in our physical, emotional, social, and spiritual health.
